Zach Charbonnet’s Week 14 output in a win over the Arizona Cardinals is the best performance by any running back for Seattle this season. Charbonnet filled up the stat sheet with 134 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries and seven receptions for 59 yards. Those numbers were good for 37 Fantasy points, and for a running back with very little tread on his tires this season, it’s possible he’ll take on more of a workload just in time for the Fantasy playoffs.
Paving the way for Charbonnet’s breakout performance was an injury that caused Kenneth Walker III to miss this week’s contest. It’s possible that Walker will be back in the lineup against the Packers in Week 15, but just how much of the workload will he take from Charbonnet if he continues to perform at a high level?
During the Week 14 Fantasy recap, Jamey Eisenberg, Dave Richard, and Heath Cummings shared their thoughts on whether they’d buy or sell Charbonnet when Kenneth Walker III returns.
“It’s probably still Malik Nabers, but Marvin Harrison Jr. would probably be second for me,” Heath said. “Next week’s matchup is probably the worst that he has all season long, and it’s the week where six teams are on a bye. But then you get the Patriots, you get the Panthers, and I’m not too scared of the Rams. If they finally, for some reason, start throwing him the ball double-digit times per game, he might, in the Fantasy playoffs, justify his ADP. Now, I’m not sure how many people drafted him in Round 2 that are going to make the Fantasy playoffs, but he might be that guy as a borderline No. 1 wide receiver in the last three weeks of the Fantasy season.”
Nabers commands a much higher target share than Harrison and has averaged 16.2 Fantasy points so far this year. He’s clearly the top rookie wide receiver, and when the Giants can improve at the quarterback position, he’s going to be that much more productive.
